Using the action keys

An action key performs an assigned function. The icon on each of the f1 through f12 keys illustrates the assigned function for that key.

To use an action key function, press and hold the key.

The action key feature is enabled at the factory. You can disable the action key feature and revert back to standard settings. Using standard settings, you press the fn key and one of the function keys to activate the assigned function. For instructions, refer to Using Setup Utility (BIOS) on page 62.

CAUTION: Use extreme care when making changes in Setup Utility. Errors can prevent the computer from operating properly.
